The Veteran's hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis, which were previously rated as part of the same entity, are now recognized separately with a combined rating of 40 percent effective March 3, 2006. The Director of Compensation and Pension granted an additional 10 percent extraschedular rating for the bromhidrosis component.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis resulted in marked interference with employment due to the odor, which required frequent bathing and changes of clothing, leading to destruction of shoes and clothing. The Director found that this warranted an additional 10 percent extraschedular rating for the bromhidrosis component.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has decided to remand the case due to a duty-to-assist error and requires a new medical opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's hyperhidrosis.
- Denied
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not render him in need of regular aid and attendance, as he can still drive a car and does not require constant assistance with daily activities. Therefore, his claim for special monthly compensation based on the need for aid and attendance is denied.
- Dismissed
The Board has dismissed the Veteran's appeals for a compensable evaluation for service-connected hypertension and for service connection for atrial fibrillation, skin cancer, hyperhidrosis, left knee condition, left hip condition, right hip condition, right shoulder condition, and left shoulder condition due to procedural errors in filing.
- Dismissed
The Veteran's appeals for increased ratings on multiple service-connected conditions have been dismissed as the appellant has withdrawn his appeal.
